Treadmills Required

With the heat I have to run either early or late. Early is out because I am out the door by 6am to summer school. Late is out because I'm at Life Time until 10pm. I do have about 4 hours at home but that is from 1-5pm during peak fire season. I've resolved to run treadmills before work in the 72 degree environment that is Life Time.

Yesterday I put in four miles at 7min/mile which - as I did before - I'll add 30s/mile to. It got me huffing and puffing so that's good. I figure that my cardiovascular system is what needs the most work now and I can definitely do that on a treadmill. Just run until I can't run no more. Hopefully leg-strength will just maintain itself.

4 miles 7:30/mile
